G Cadd9 Em7 D Da Da Da Da Da-Da-Da-Da Da G Cadd9 Em7 D Da Da Da Da Da-Da-Da-Da x2
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 Em7 How many days did I spend thinking 'bout D how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong? G Cadd9 Lived in the shade you were throwing Em7 D 'til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone G Cadd9 Em7 And I couldn't get away from ya D In my feelings more than Drake so yeah G Cadd9 Em7 Your name on my lips tounge-tied D Free-rent, living in my mind G* D* Em7* D* Cadd9* D* But then something happened one magical night...
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Em7 I forgot that you existed D G Cadd9 Em7 And I thought that it would kill me, but it didnt D G Cadd9 Em7 D And it was so ni-i-i-i-i-ice G Cadd9 Em7 D So peaceful and qui-i-i-i-i-i-iet G Cadd9 Em7 I forgot that you existed D G It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference
Cadd9 Em7 D
[Verse 2]
G It was so nice throwing big parties G Jump into the pool from the balcony G Everyone's living in a champagne sea G There are no rules when you show up here G Bass beat rattling the chandelier G Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9* D* So why'd you have to rain on my parade? Am* D* I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Em7 D G This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling Cadd9 Em7 D Because you break them, I have to take them
away-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
G Cadd9 Em7 D G This is why we can't have nice things, hon-ey Cadd9 Em7 Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said D about me-e-e-e-e-e? G Cadd9 Em7 D This is why we can't have nice things
[Post-Chorus]
G Cadd9 Em7 D Da Da Da Da Da-Da-Da-Da Da G Cadd9 Em7 Da Da Da Da Da-Da-Da-Da D I forgot that you... G* Sent me a clear message Em7* Taught me some hard lessons Cadd9* D* I just forget what they were
It's all just a blur...
[Bridge]
G Cadd9 Em7 So heres a toast to my real friends D They don't care about that he-said she-said G Cadd9 And here's to my baby Em7 D G He ain't reading what they call me lately Cadd9 Em7 And here's to my mama D Had to listen to all this drama G* G/F* And here's to you Cadd9* D* because forgiveness is a nice thing to do
N.C.
HaHaHaHaHaHa Ahh HaHaHaHaHaHa ah...
I can't even say it with a straight face!!!
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Em7 D This is what we can't have nice things, dar-ling G Cadd9 Em7 D Because you break them, I have to take them away-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay G Cadd9 Em7 D This is why we can't have nice things, hon-ey G Cadd9 Em7 Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said D about me-e-e-e-e-e
[Outro]
G This is why we can't have Cadd9 Em7 Ohhhh-oh-ohhh D G And here's to my real friends Cadd9 Em7 Ohhh-oh-ohhh D G And here's to my baby Cadd9 Em7 Ohhh-oh-ohhh D G* They don't care about that he-said she-said

D about me-e-e-e-e-e G* G* This is why we can't have nice things...
